It's been a turbulent few months for Katie and her third husband Kieran, following explosive cheating revelations back in May.
But the couple are trying to move forward and focus on the birth of their daughter.
The blonde star welcomed her bundle of joy early on Monday, despite booking into a private London hospital for a planned C-section on August 15.
Ahead of schedule: Katie Price has given birth to her fifth child - a baby girl - two weeks early
The Sun reveals Kieran 'cried like a baby' at the birth of their second child, after cheating on her when their first, Jett, was born 11 months ago.
The paper reports that the builder clung to Katie's hand during the caesarean, with a close pal saying: 'It's only Kieran who has been able to keep her together through it all.
'She was so scared about losing the baby. It wasn't a pleasant operation but she was absolutely ecstatic that her little girl was healthy.
Big news: Katie Price gives birth
'When the baby was delivered, Kieran started crying like a baby. She feels the birth of his daughter has made him see the light.'
Katie's publicist, Lauren Lunn-Farrow from Lunn Farrow Media released a short statement via her Twitter account on Monday, saying: 'LFM can confirm that @MissKatiePrice has given birth to a baby girl this afternoon. No more details will be given at present.'
Katie recently told OK! magazine that she was working on her relationship Kieran after learning that he had cheated on her with two of her pals just months into their marriage.
She discovered that the builder and former stripper, who is the father of 11-month-old baby Jett and their as yet unnamed daughter, had an affair with Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas.
Katie told the publication: 'We're working on our relationship and taking it day by day.

'I wanted to focus on having a healthy baby rather than ending another marriage, so I decided that I would have our child and help Kieran through his therapy.'
The former model recently talked about her devastating situation on her Fubar Radio show: 'It's amazing how strong you have to be and this is real life and you have to get on with it.
'In the beginning I was ready to divorce Kieran. Now I've learnt more about [sex addiction], I thought, "Did I do something wrong?" I put on a bit of weight...

'Now I realise it was nothing to do with me, if it wasn't one of my friends it would have been someone else.'
Katie was adamant last week that she would have Kieran by her side when she gave birth, despite his philandering.
Meanwhile, Katie also has children Harvey, 12, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke and Junior, nine; and Princess, seven, with ex-husband Peter Andre.
Katie and Kieran wed in the Bahamas in January 2013 after just six weeks of dating.
